No more

Recently I need to go to work a bit later in order to meet the schedule of my colleagues. Immediately there emerges a need for adjustment. I notice that I haven't been able to sleep as well as before I changed my schedule. Though I could leave around 9:00pm and strive to sleep by midnight, I did not succeed.

In general, I sleep later and get up later. Such change causes decline in efficiency at work and personal study, and possibly mood fluctuations. Indeed I am quite amazed by the extend to which it affects my almost already stabilized living pattern that tightly followed a regular schedule. I thought I could easily be used to it by mere rearrangement of the order of my daily tasks, say originally I exercise in the morning and then work and then study at night but now I try to exercise in the morning then study then go to work. It is not as easy as I once thought.

Applying the same logic--minor change of schedule that causes the instability of life pattern and thereby its adjustment--, the inevitable question then becomes "if there are major changes of one's life, how much more turbulence would it create and how much longer it would take for someone to adjust, if ever able to?"

Now I start to believe that the impact that you bring on to someone could be permanent, no matter how negligible it might first appear. Whether to do good or evil, it is a matter of choice.
